BarcelonaSant Jordi 2026 once again fills Catalonia with books, roses, kisses, and streets full of life. In this photo gallery, which complements the live broadcast from ARA, we will collect throughout the day the best images of a festival that combines culture, celebration, and spring like no other. This year, ARA dedicates its special edition to the figure of the dragon, inseparable from the legend of Saint George, with pages illustrated with some of the dragons that inhabit the urban landscape of Barcelona. The newspaper also offers reports and articles on the myth of the dragon, the most complete coverage of the day, and suggestions such as The book recommender for Sant Jordi 2026for those still looking for reading.
